.SH NAME
smedit \- a very simple visual editor for text
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B smedit
[
.B \-m|f
]
[
.B \-v
]
.I file
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B smedit
provides an extremely simple (and simple to use) full screen editor
for ascii text files.
By use of the
.B "Screen Manager"
softkey labels, the user is quided through the various editing
operations such as \fISearch, Search & Replace etc\fR.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B -v
provides a read-only file viewer suitable for scanning ascii
files.
If
.B smedit
is linked (or copied) to another file whose name contains
.I 'pg'
or
.IR 'more' ,
and run from that file, then the
.B -v
option is default.
e.g. linking to \fI'smpg'\fR and running as
\fI'smpg'\fR will invoke the
.B -v
option.
.TP
.B -m
use memory (the heap) for temporary file storage.
This is fast but may
be limited in size depending on the system architecture (e.g. very
limited on MS-DOS).
.TP
.B -f
use disc files for temporary storage.
This is potentially slower than the
.B -m
option (particularly in moveing backwards through a file) but may allow
larger files to be handled.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
.B TMP
If specified, temporary files (if used) are put here.
Otherwise /tmp
is used.
.TP
.B SHELL
Used by the global command SM_SHELL_C (usually bound to Meta-!) if set
otherwise /bin/sh is used.
